The Scarlet Dragon Divine Guard served as the Xia Emperor's personal guard.
Every member was a Grandmaster Realm expert.
They held an exalted position in Great Xia.
Anyone who slaughtered members of the Scarlet Dragon Divine Guard, regardless of their identity, status, or how terrifying their cultivation was, would be hunted by the imperial family until death.
Yet the envoy from the Qiankun Dynasty had slaughtered nearly a hundred Scarlet Dragon Divine Guards before the Xia Emperor's very eyes.
It was practically like planting a foot on the Xia Emperor's face and grinding it down again and again.
Even then, the Xia Emperor had not acted.
That meant the other side's strength had reached an utterly terrifying level.
So terrifying that even the Xia Emperor could only swallow the humiliation and bear the burden.
He dared not show the slightest displeasure.
Now, the Sage who had backed Xiao Chen had fallen.
Even a Great Emperor was beyond his ability to contend with.
Let alone a behemoth like the Qiankun Dynasty.
They had only heard how terrifying the Qiankun Dynasty was before, never imagining it was terrifying to this extent.
It was not just the old woman.
The other townspeople's eyes had also dimmed, filled with utter despair.
"Well? Scared now? I'll give you one last chance. Say Xiao Chen is trash, and I'll grant you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you could die!" The Qiankun Dynasty guard looked at the old woman again, his face twisted viciously.
In the Qiankun Dynasty, they were servants too, the lowest of the low.
They were often mistreated.
But upon arriving in Great Xia,
they had transformed in an instant.
They had become demons wielding butcher's blades.
They held the power of life and death over these people of Great Xia.
